Davis Clarifies Her Life Story

Wendy Davis (D), “the Texas state senator who has shaped her campaign for governor largely around her story of rising from a teenage single mother to a Harvard law graduate, released a chronology of her life on Monday after a Dallas newspaper said that she had blurred some details about her past,” the New York Times reports.

Washington Post: “The up-from-nowhere narrative, which emerged during an 11-hour filibuster she staged in June to oppose abortion restrictions, has been a central part of her candidacy and appeal, helping to boost her national profile and fundraising efforts. But the Dallas Morning News reveals a more complicated narrative.”
